Are you "jacked in"?

I guess I've always been a late developer. I'm only now getting my wisdom teeth in. And all my bras still have my name on them - in my mother's magic marker scrawl - from when I went to camp at age thirteen.

So it's typical of me to have, a decade or so later than the rest of my age cohort, just now started watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

And I love it. It's sort of feminist-ish, in that GRRRL POWER sort of way. It's actually pretty sexy, too. Like porn for the Seventeen generation. Who knew?

Actually, everyone who was hip to the WB did.

The part that I enjoy most, though, is its total 90sliciousness. The chunky heeled boots / short skirt combos, chenille tops in kool-aid colors, those tacky little plastic chokers and mini-backpacks, oh!... and all ordered straight out of dELiA*s catalog, of course.

It's enough to make me want to dig out my body glittler and scented nail polish.

Oh, the nineties. Oh, the innocence.

Buffy character: "If you're not jacked in, you're not alive."

He was talking about the internet!

I feel old.
